I'd heard the pitches: âGet paid to shop!â and âGet free stuff!â But I didnât know what was required to be a mystery shopper. So I took a chance, figuring, âWhat do I have to lose?â It was more like what I had to gainânot only little perks, like free jeans, but also enough money to buy a car in cash. How Mystery Shopping Works
For about a decade, the paediatric sleep community has recommended that children three to five years old need 11 to 13 hours, children five to 10 years old need 10 to 11 hours, and adolescents 10 to 17 years need eight-and-a-half to nine-and-a-half hours of sleep each night.
So how much is the right amount of sleep? The new guidelines not only give recommended amounts, but also state what might be appropriate for different ages. Children aged six to nine need nine to 11 hours a night, but may get by on seven to eight. Teenagers need eight to 10 hours. Seven hours may be OK for some, but sleeping more than 11 hours a day may be detrimental to their health, although some may need that much during puberty.
